What it is: Wiggio.com is a free, online toolkit that makes it easy to work in groups. We started Wiggio out of our own frustrations with endless email chains, using five different websites for five different functions, and all the other hassles associated with working in groups. We were tired of sending eleven emails back and forth to set a meeting time. We were tired of "that guy" who just never knows where and when to be there. We were tired of multiple mailing lists, contact books, phone-chains and incompatibilities. We wanted everything to be in one place, and we wanted it simple. Working in groups is inherently frustrating. We designed Wiggio to be easy and straightforward - it provides everything you need to work productively in your groups, without bogging you down with complexities, help menus and unnecessary features. Everyone will be able to use Wiggio, regardless of how tech-savvy your group members are:
• Academic project groups
• Boy and girl scout troupes
• Clubs, committees and boards
• Musical and dance groups
• Non-profit and charity organizations
• Fundraising and event planning teams
• Sports teams
• Roommates
• Fraternities and sororities
• PTO's and K-12 teachers
• Small businesses
• Camps
• Families
• Alumni groups
• Social groups
• Study groups
• Religious groups
• Neighborhoods
On Wiggio, you can share and edit files, manage a group calendar, poll your group, post links, set up conference calls, chat online and send mass text, voice and email messages to your group members. Each group member can define how they want to keep informed of group activity. For a complete overview of what your group can do on Wiggio, click on the following video:
Wiggio was created in January 2008 by two Cornell graduates looking for a better way to manage the responsibilities of working in groups. The project secured funding in August of 2008 and was officially released to the public as of September 15, 2008. Our mission is to continuously develop an application that eliminates the frustration of working in groups by providing the powerful, straightforward functionality that you need to work effectively. In return for using Wiggio we ask for two things: your feedback and support. If you find a bug or see an opportunity to enhance the application, please let us know. If you find the application useful, please tell friends, family and peers about Wiggio. Thanks for using Wiggio! - The Wiggio Team
This website allows you to do all the things you need to do to have an effective group- take a poll of the latest ideas, make a to-do list, hold a virtual meeting, and much more. I think I will be putting this to good use for the next big group project. I even made a to-do list for finishing this website!

Yes, I am aware that "Tina" didn't pronounce the name of the site properly. Please just ignore that little issue, as it cannot be fixed at this time.
